Hi. I'm Doug Schrift - Physical Therapist, and Senior Fitness Coach. I help seniors become strong and stable even if they have never exercised before.
I created eldergym.com over a decade ago and have had thousands of visitors over the years. Take a look around the site. You will find lots of free exercises, helpful blogs and podcasts.
our Core
Values & approach
Exercise is the Key
In seniors, exercise has been shown to prevent disease, lower the risk of falls, improve mental health and well-being, strengthen social ties, and improve cognitive function.
Start Slowly
If you weren't physically active before, start slowly. Even 5 minutes of physical activity has health benefits, and you can build up to more over time!
stay social
As seniors get older, their risk of isolation increases. It’s especially important for seniors (and their loved ones) to be proactive about staying engaged throughout the day.
